Behaviour Support

At St. Joseph's all students are encouraged to show:
• RESPECT: FOR TEACHERS
• RESPECT: FOR CLASSMATES
• RESPECT: FOR SELF AND
• RESPECT: FOR PROPERTY
We believe that all Behaviour Management practices and procedures undertaken by staff members should:
be based on the Christian values of justice, love and respect
  • develop a warm and trusting pupil-teacher relationship
  • encourage co-operation between home and school
  • focus on the positive and good aspects of children's behaviour
  • always enhance the child's self-esteem
  • recognise the different stages of each child's development
  • establish, with the children, reasonable and fair consequences for every behaviour (good or bad) and be consistent in carrying out these consequences
  • be sensitive to the individual life histories of children
  • develop socially acceptable behaviour by insisting on manners
  • develop school pride and spirit
